line styles dont print unless smooth=true

I've got a chart with 6 series each with different line styles (solid,dash,dot,dash-dot,dash-dot-dot,small-dots) that shows ok on the screen and in print preview.

When it prints, it comes out as solid lines unless smooth is checked. The smooth option makes really ugly line charts. Solid lines that are straight when not smoothed are stair stepped.

I've tried different printers (hp8150 postscript and pcl, kyocera fs-1010, apple color laser 12/600, acrobat pdf writer, acrobat distiller 4000dpi) with the same result.

How do I get WYSIWYG?
v7.0.4 vcl on delphi 7 enterprise.

Hi Klint,

This is a known problem which already is on our deffect list to be fixed for future releases.

We have come across some customer cases with the same cirumstances using mostly HP printers. The solution was installing the latest drivers for those printers or just trying a different driver to the installed one. You may be interested on trying this to see if it solves your problem.
